Coastal photography by location, Maine to Florida

I’m Mike Dooley, a coastal photographer based in Rhode Island, with photographs from Maine to Florida. I’ve been shooting the Rhode Island coast for more than 30 years, and most of my prints come from there. The rest come from day trips and road trips: Cape Cod, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, North Carolina’s Outer Banks, and lately a beach on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Start with the pictures. Tap a photograph to see its print, or the town page it came from. Each region below also links to its own page, and the stories are there when you want them.

Prints are paused while I move to Florida. Want to know the day they reopen? Send me a note and I’ll add you to the list.
